song on the brain - backbone by the rumble strips
A decent bundle of things happened in the last couple of days.
On the 17th, I went to Josie's going away party. We sat around and watched Youtube and talked for a good 6 hours. It was a good way to spend some of our last hours with Josie until next year.
On the 19th, Alisha and I biked over to the school and picked up our schedules. We saw Ivie, Hailey and Kelli, as well as Garrett who pulled us aside for a while and didn't particularly like the idea of us leaving. I found out that I have basically no classes with anybody (except for zero hour which I have with both Hailey and Cayla) and I'm the only one that has 1st lunch. So I'm going to go in on the 26th to see about fixing that.
However, for the time being, this is my schedule.
First Semester
Algebra 2 - Baird
Ceramics - McMinn
Psychology - Westerfeild
French 4 - Koller
Anatomy - Staley
American Lit - Hatcher
World Geography - Howard
Second Semester
Algebra 2 - Baird
20th Century History - Smith (WOOHOOO)
Powerwalking - Olson
French 4 - Koller
Anatomy - Staley
American Lit - Hatcher
Consumer Ec - Parkinson-Schirm
I'm going to switch Anatomy and AP Lit around if I can. So we'll see.
Anyway, at 11:30ish that night I was laying on Alisha's floor with Bella and I said to Alisha "She's having some hardcore contractions." I'm not entirely sure that Alisha even believed me, or thought I knew what I was talking about. But about 10 minutes later I was like "Alisha, I think your dog is giving birth right now." So Alisha freaked out and got her Grandma. Bella was running around yelping with a puppy's head sticking out of her vagina and the puppy was also yelping. Alisha's grandma took Bella outside and helped pull the puppy out and there was like... an explosion of blood on the pavement. We brought the kiddie pool into the kitchen and lead Bella into it to have her clean the puppy up. The puppy got to nurse for a while, then I kept it warm in a heated towel while Bella went out back and gave birth to two more puppies at the same time in the grass. Those two were rushed in out of the cold and cleaned off. Bella laid in the tub with her puppies, licking them excessively and Amy was called to come over. Bella gave birth to the rest of the puppies in the pool. 2 boys, both black and 6 girls, 3 black, 1 black with a white chest and and 2 brown. They are ADORABLE. So those puppies will probably live in the kiddie pool in the middle of the kitchen for a while.
We were up till about 4 AM with those puppies and I was awake again at 8:00 because Bella wanted attention. So I was functioning on approximately 4 hours of sleep.
That night around 6:30, we biked over to my house with my sister so I could change and put my hair up. Then we headed off for Movies in the Park. However, going doing the hill on Swift, I hit a very small curb way too fast and the chain unhooked itself from the gears. So I was lucky that there was a grassy strip along the sidewalk for me to ride down around Kate and Alisha while I waited for my bike to slow to a stop. It took a good 15 minutes before we figured out how to hook the chain back on and we biked the rest of the way to the park with very grubby hands. We sat around on some benches for probably 20 minutes before Kellli and Josie showed up and then we wheeled our bikes over to them and settled in on a blanket. We got up to go buy smoothies when Tori and some guy got up and tried to sing Tonight's Gonna be a Good Night (or whatever it's called) by the Black Eyed Peas. I ordered a smoothie, and the lady gave me a milkshake. Then I bought popcorn back at the park and it was nasty, so I gave it to Kate and Alisha. Then eventually the movie started up and I didn't understand anything that was being said. I was also being used as a pillow and I was ridiculously uncomfortable.
Saying goodbye at the end was sad. And at the same time, it was hard to believe that we weren't going to see Josie for a year. It seemed like a normal goodbye and we were going to see eachother in a week. So I think the true realization that she's going to be gone for a year will set in soon enough. We'll miss you, Josie. D:
So Alisha, Kate and I went home and played Guitar Hero II for a while before going to bed. The next day we didn't really do anything. Alisha went home in the afternoon and Kate and Dad and Cindy and I all went to Red Robin for Kate's (belated) birthday dinner. Kate and I got bottomless rootbeer floats, which was a huge mistake, seeing as I was only able to eat 4 bites of my burger. So I have lunch for today, I suppose. XD
After that, we went and got movies. We watched Best in Show last night, but everyone was too tired to watch Office Space. So we went to bed and I fell asleep listening to The Rumble Strips.
And there's nothing to say about this morning, so I'm done.
